Aperture system ID - recovering the old serial number

hi
apologies if this was asked again but several searches later im still confused.com
i recently had my old MBP stolen - however before this happened, i backed the whole drive to an external disk
i cant find my aperture installation cd, so i downloaded a Trial Version of Aperture and used a trial serial number
i then decided to use what some people here suggested and copy my OLD aperture system ID file to my new library/application support/proapps folder (and delete the trial version of the file with the trial serial number)
however, aperture wont recognise my old serial number
any thoughts on what i should do
is there a way to read the old serial number from the aperture system id file? its all messy
thnx

Hi Adam,
I've searched my Mac for "ProAppsSystemID" and the search returns no items. Would you know how to locate it? Also, where is "/temp"?
Every time we fire it up, it asks for the latest serial number... and then for the previous "upgrade" serial numbers

    when updated to 9.1.7 from 9. I need new serial and the old serial number doesn't work. How can i solve this?

    There was no new serial needed to update from Logic 9 to 9.1.7
    If your Logic 9 was an upgrade from Logic 8 it may be asking you for your original Logic 8 Full serial first and then your Logic 9 Upgrade serial...
    Otherwise, it's best to call Apple directly and get them to help you...

  • G5 System Wont display the machine serial number.

    i just bought a referbished G5 dual 2.0 ghz. and the "about this mac" window wont display serial number. i even downloaded tools like "OnyX" to display system info. the srial number stays blank. it also does this in the system profiler. what do i do? and how do i get serial number in the software?

    Hi ijny9956,
    If the machine is refurbished, it may have had its logic board replaced post-manufacture. When logic boards are replaced, they usually do not have the serial number re-programmed into them. Apple have a utility to do so, but it seems they do not distribute it. (Except they leave it in repaired systems sometimes - http://lists.apple.com/archives/Darwin-userlevel/2005/Mar/msg00005.html )
    You can find out the serial number of your system by opening the case side and looking at the bottom of the case.

  • Restoring old serial number

    My friend helped me to restore my ipod touch 3rd gen and the serial number got changed to a different one. It no longer matches the number on the box it came with. Is there a way to get back the old serial number? He was doing the restore on my computer and messing around with some files (which he said), so I don't have the backup at all.

    Because when you serviced the iPod, Apple would exchange the whole iPod. Means: you get a new device with a new serial number, but keep your old serial number on the box, the invoice etc.
    Bought it as a new device directly from Apple, or was it a used one?

    Call Apple and make a appointment.
    You have 3 months of care and up to 3 years with paid AppleCare, let them handle it and bring everything in.
    Good Luck

  • I have had Aperture since 1.0 and bought every upgrade.  Now I want to transfer the software to my new iMac but I have to enter the original Serial number that I cannot locate.  Any ideas what i can do, please?

    The original serial number should be in the box with the installer disk.
    If you cannot locate the serial number, contact Apple for a replacement serial number. You will need to provide a proof of purchase.
    See: Pro Application Replacement Serial Numbers
    Regards

    P.S. The menu command "Aperture > About Aperture" will show you your Aperture 3 serial number on your old mac, but not the previous serial numbers.

  • Aperture wants the original serial number and I don't have it!!?!!

    I upgraded to a newer iMac and migrated all my files over to it. When I tried to open Aperture it asks for the serial number (I have 2.1.4). No worries, I input the serial number. Then it says that my serial number is for an upgrade and it wants the original serial number. I bought aperture years ago and have no record of the original serial number. The Apple website says I need all kinds of documentation to get a new serial number, the store that I bought it from is now closed and I now live on the other side of the world from where I bought it. Surely, I don't need to buy a new copy of Aperture? Shouldn't Migration Assistant carry with it the software history? This doesn't seem right to me.
    Please let me know if you can help

    What is or is not "anti-customer", expectations and experiences differ, surely. Nonetheless I have never ever not had a copy of my serial numbers? How about simply adding a SOFTWARE group in your address book and adding what you've got. Takes about 30 seconds per purchased application, and saves you looking for a printed copy next time you need to re-install due to a new machine etc. Simply copy & paste and you're back to reading mails or drinking coffee.
    That being said, I want Aperture 3 with better Geo-Location tagging support etc. for Christmas 2009 ideally... come on Apple

  • The upgrade version will not accept my 'old' serial number

    The upgrade version will not accept my 'old' serial number? 

    I have a CS3 DesignPremium.
    I have asked Adope if it was possible to update from this to CS5.5 Design Premium. The answer was, that it was ok for a price round 100 €.
    I bought it and under installation it wanted first the new serial number and next the 'old number' (because the old CS was not installed).
    The new one is not installed any where els.
    Im am working on a MacBook Pro.
    The number not accepted is the old CS3 number.
